I am stuck using Lotus Notes at work and hate it. I rely on my calendar on my cell phone constantly and found this little tool that allows you to import your lotus calendar into your gmail and keep it in sync. Pretty solid and did exactly what I needed. Figured I would post it up for anyone else who may want it. > **[Lotus Notes to Google Calendar tool](https://sourceforge.net/projects/lntogoogle/)** > > Download Lotus Notes to Google Calendar tool for free. This is a one-way sync program that will sync your Lotus Notes Calendar to your Google Calendar. No installation is required. ---

We have Lotus here too. I’ll have to give this a try later. Thanks for posting this. :tup: ---

Interesting, stuck on the pile shit called Notes here at BCBS as well. I have no real need though to import my work calendar in there. I have access to both my calendars from my iphone and ipad using Lotus Traveler. ---

I don’t see any issues syncing my calendar as there is no sensitive information on that. Forwarding email out to a remote account is a BIG no no. ---

I would think that is a giant grey area. Meeting invites often have attached documents as well as agenda and other misc. information in the body/subject of it. Be careful. ---

In this case it’s not a gray area. You’re violating “Praxair Information Protection Policy” (search airwaves for it) in at least 3 ways: 1. Meeting invites go out over corporate email so by syncing your calendar you’re essentially forwarding email 2. You installed non-IT approved software 3. I’m guessing you stored your LAN ID and password for it to sync automatically :shrug: ---

It uses your local notes files to sync the calender. I do not recall ever giving any lotus motes password info. There are larger holes in email security technically, but they told you it was fixed… I hope to read your email someday 😛 ---

You gave an outside application full access to your email file? …Sigh… If this wasn’t a tight-knit community I would file an anonymous tip to Praxair. Seriously guys, what you are doing is a HORRIBLE idea. ---

Not to worry, Praxair trolls the interwebs, so it will come up eventually. Edit: Also, We are not doing it as it is moraly wrong to do work on personal devices and agaist some policy or another. ---
